  • Will The Swagman XC2 Fit With The Spare Tire On A 2017 Jeep Wrangler?
    The measurement from the center of the hitch pin to the closest hoop is 10 inches. Measure from the center of your hitch pin to the end of the spare tire. If that measurement is less than 10 inches then you will be fine. If not you want to get an extender like # C45795. If I owned a Wrangler, I would get a swing away system like the Kuat Pivot # PVP20B. This will allow you to have FULL access to the back of your jeep!

  • Recommended Bike Rack And Shank For Clearance on 2014 Honda Odyssey
    The Receiver Mount for Advantage SportsRack V-Rack 2 Bike Carrier - 2" Hitches # HE6007 has a measurement of 6-1/4 inches from hitch pin hole to tube end. This will not be long enough to even clear your bumper with some of the hitches available for your 2014 Honda Odyssey as you can see in the attached video. The Curt Clamp-On 3 Bike Rack for 2" Ball Mounts - Towing # C18013 can be used with Ball Mount 3/4" Rise or 2" Drop, Extra Long # D-26 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer...

  • Recommended 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2018 Jay Flight SLX 184BS
    Yes, in order to carry a bike rack or cargo carrier on the rear of your 2018 Jay Flight SLX 184BS I highly recommend the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13702 which is specifically designed for trailers and RV's and will give you a 2" receiver tube opening. As long as the frame rails on your Jay Flight do not measure to be more than 51" apart outside to outside then this hitch will be perfect for you. Please keep in mind that bike racks used on the back of a trailer will...

  • Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier For Sprinter RV With Rear Mounted Spare Tire
    We do offer some hitch-mounted carriers that may work for you on the back of your Sprinter RV. Using an extender in any hitch will reduce the weight carrying capacity of the hitch by 50 percent so we do not typically recommend using those. One carrier you might want to check out is the Pro Series Cargo Carrier, part # 63153. This carrier's outside dimension are 61-1/2 inches long x 25-1/2 inches wide x 5-1/2 inches tall. The distance from the center of the hitch pin to the closest edge...

  • Can Hitch Extension Help Allow Truck to Lower Tailgate When Towing
    A hitch extension does cut your trailer hitch capacity by 50 percent, but for as light of a trailer as you have and how heavy duty your tow vehicle is that wouldn't be an issue. So yes, a 14 inch hitch extension like the # C45795 would be a solid choice to allow you to drop your tailgate!

  • Is There A Standard Size for a 2 Inch Receiver
    As you've discovered, a 2 inch receiver doesn't always measure exactly two inches by two inches. There is a manufacturing tolerance involved that allows the receiver to be a few hundredths of an inches larger or smaller than 2 inches, but still be within tolerance. Due to the fact that the connection between a hitch receiver and the shank of a ball mount or hitch mounted accessory isn't meant to be a precision fit, the tolerances are generous. These tolerances are common in manufactured...

  • Recommended E-Bike Rack for a Roadtrek 210 RV with Rear Spare Tire
    The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes part # Y36FR is a strong contender for the best electric bike rack with a per bike weight capacity of 66 lbs, included ramp for easy loading, and locks for security. In regard to clearing the rear spare tire. That's where things will get tricky as I'm afraid there isn't a rack that will carry these heavy bikes and clear the tire. The best option available to make this work is a hitch extender, the Curt Hitch Extender part # C45795 but you...

  • Compatibility Of Platform Bike Rack With Jeep Wrangler Spare Tire
    The Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 Bike Platform Rack # TH83JV will need an extension to clear your rear spare. From the center of the hitch pin hole this rack is 7 inches to the closest part of the rack when in position to carry bikes and when folded is 5 inches to closest part. This is an excellent bike rack, so I recommend using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. This will reduce your trailer hitch tongue weight capacity by 50% but that won't be an issue with...

  • Comparing Gen-Y and Curt 14 Long Hitch Extenders For a 2 Receiver
    The Gen-Y Hitch Hitch Extender # GY89SR is far superior to the Curt Hitch Extender # C45795. The Gen-Y is made in the USA, comes with a lifetime warranty and as you pointed out has the higher 10,000lb trailer capacity with up to 500lbs of tongue weight. The Curt is only rated for 3,500lbs of trailer weight and 350lbs of tongue weight. It also only comes with a 1-year warranty. For weight the Gen-Y only weighs 16lbs while the Curt weighs 18lbs.

  • Solution for Clearing Spare Tire on Jeep Wrangler for Hitch Mounted Cargo Carrier
    We do have a large selection of hitch extenders that are designed for exactly the situation you described in your question. The particular extender you choose will depend on how much distance you are needing in order to clear the spare tire on your Jeep Wrangler. I recommend taking a quick measurement from the center of the hitch pin hole on your hitch receiver, to the outermost edge of the spare tire. You will just need to make sure you pick an extender that will reach at least this distance....

  • How Much Does Hitch Extender Reduce Tongue Weight Capacity
    The answer is actually pretty simple, because using any type of hitch adapter, including a hitch extender, reduces the capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent, and that includes both the towing capacity and the tongue weight capacity. I am not certain what the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 is, but using the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795 or the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Receivers -18" Long # C45796 will reduce that...

  • Do All Trailer Hitch Extenders Reduce Capacity by 50 Percent
    The reason there are differences in the amount hitch extenders reduce the capacity of the hitch is because there isn't a 100% exact science for each length, it's more of a general rule. Technically, each length will reduce it a different percentage, and you are correct we are being conservative by saying they all reduce hitch capacity by 50 percent. This is to keep expectations in place and prioritize safety. But it's a bit silly to have a magic number of 12 inches. Say you have a hitch...

  • Recommended Spare Tire Bike Rack or Hitch Mounted Bike Rack with Vertical Mounting
    There is not a bike rack that will fit a spare tire that loads the bike vertically as you stated without an adapter. The Softride Hang 2 # SR27041 is the closest to what I think you are looking for, but you would need to add an extension like # C45795 for that application. I recommend using a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes. I've attached measurements to assist as well as a video.

  • How to Determine Correct Hitch Extender for Bike Rack on Jeep Wrangler with Rear Spare Tire
    To determine the length you need measure from the hitch pin hole on your Jeep's trailer hitch receiver out to the edge of the spare tire. Then add an inch or so to give you a little space. Some extenders are only designed to be used to flat tow a vehicle and not to hold any tongue weight so make sure you choose an extender that is designed for carrying accessories since you're going to use it for a bike rack. Part # C45795 is a great 14 inch option. 37 inch tires are normally 12 or...

  • Hitch Pin Holes Will Not Align With the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches C45795
    In order for the hitch pin holes to line up on the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches part # C45795, the distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the receiver tube on the vehicle must be no more than 3". If it is then you'd have to go with a different option like the Hitch Extender For 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver 14" Long part # HE12 which will allow for up to 4-1/2". In regards to being wobbly, that is sort of the nature of adding an extra connection but this...

  • How to Extend Hitch Connection Between Trailer and Truck to Allow Tailgate to be Fully Lowered
    I have a solution for you, but the Roadmaster Anti-Rattle Hitch Extender for Tow Bars - 2" Hitches - 7-3/4" Extension, # RM-071-1075, is designed to be used in flat towing applications. When flat towing a vehicle behind an motorhome there is less tongue weight on the hitch than when you are towing a trailer. That's why the Roadmaster hitch extender has a low tongue weight rating and should not be used in trailer applications. I recommend using a ball mount with a longer shank, like the...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2007 Ford E-450 Chassis on Old U-Haul Truck
    Since the frame ends so far short of the bumper, I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. Then you will need to use a hitch extender like # C45795 which will reduce your overall towing capacity to 3,500 lbs and 350 lbs tongue weight but you will still be able to tow any trailer within that range.

  • What Hitch Extender Do I Need to Clear a 35/1250/17 Spare Tire on a 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited?
    The tire width of a 35/1250/17 spare tire is 12-1/2 inches. If you have a hitch receiver that like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98856 that sits flush with the end of your 2016 Jeep Wrangler's bumper, I recommend the Curt Hitch Extender for 2" Trailer Hitches - 14" Long # C45795. The 1-1/2 additional inches of the 14-inch extender will allow you to attach accessories without interference. It must be noted that any time you use...

  • Why Do Hitch Extenders Reduce Hitch Capacity
    Hitch extenders like the Kuat # HL20B and similar items # C45791, # C45795 and # HE12 do give you more clearance to install a hitch accessory like the SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack # SR2415 but the trouble is these extenders also reduce the hitch's tongue weight (TW) capacity by 50-percent. All adapters like these push the actual weight of the loaded bike rack further away from the hitch and this means the rack's weight will put more stress on the hitch. The extra connection point...

  • Thule T2 Bike Rack Cant Fold Up and Wobbles when Used in Invisi-Hitch on 2015 Subaru Outback
    So you are using an adapter like # C45013 on the Invisi-Hitch installed on your 2015 Subaru Outback. The connection between the hitch and adapter is where you would need the anti-rattle device, right? Since the adapter shank is solid the pest solution is the anti-rattle device # RM-061-125. Given the vertical receiver on the hitch it may be difficult to get this device in place. The absolute best solution is to replace the hitch which may seem like an unnecessary expense until you consider...

  • Recommended Hitch Extension for 2004 Ford F-350 with Camper Towing 7100 lbs Travel Trailer
    If you need 14 inches to clear your camper, you might be interested in the Curt # C45795. This hitch extender will give you 14 inches of clearance from your current pin hole location. Please note that using a hitch extender will decrease the weight capacity of your trailer hitch by 50 percent. It sounds like your vehicle has a weight capacity of 15000 lbs, and a tongue weight of 1500 which would be well within your weight limit even with the reduced capacity using the hitch extender....

    I can certainly point you in the right direction. We offer a few hitch extensions with built in anti-rattle that will work nicely with your Kuat bike rack. A really good one is the Kuat Hi-Lo Hitch Extender # HL20B. This can be either 7" long or 10" long, and comes with a threaded hitch bolt which will help to eliminate play. If you need something longer, (to clear the spare tire perhaps?), we have the # C45795 from Curt which is 14" long. This does not have any built in anti rattle,...

    The Curt # C45795 is a 12-inch hitch extender for 2-inch hitch receivers. You didn't say why you need the extender but if you're using it to tow a trailer an extra-long ball mount like # EA40 might be another option.

    Hitch extenders are not rated based on Class III, IV, or V. The use of a hitch extension in most cases will reduce the tongue weight of your hitch by 50%. There is not a 10 inch option, but there are many similar sizes that may work for your application. For instance, the Roadmaster Hitch Extender for Tow Bars--11 inches # RM-071 has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs but only a tongue weight rating of 100 lbs. It is designed to be used for flat towing.
